Probably sometimes, at least if we trust the article:
> In our experience, the documentation is accurate: sometimes volumes pass in and out of their provisioned performance in small time windows:
What AWS consider "small degradation" is sometimes "100% down" for their users though, look at any previous "AWS is down/having problems" HN comment threads and you'll see there tends to be a huge mismatch between what AWS considers "not working" and what users of AWS considers "not working".
Doesn't surprise me people want better tooling than what AWS themselves offer.
